Maybe - see below...

I use SMTP AUTH + TLS through my own server to avoid having plain text
passwords on the wire, and because when I'm sending large emails (ie.
pgAdmin test builds) it is a heck of a lot quicker than sending to a
server on the other side of the planet which can often be slow at the
times I send messages (ie. when you're doing backups).

For similar reasons I don't IMAP directly to your servers - it's just
too slow. I forward to mine and IMAPS to there.

and c) why aren't you using SMTP

See above.

Please don't add SPF for postgresql.org - unless you're willing to add a
record for developer.pgadmin.org as well.

Regards, Dave.
